🌞 A Summer Worth Remembering

"Hooray, hooray, it's a holi-holiday

What a world of fun for everyone

Hooray, hooray, it's a holi-holiday

Sing a summer song, skip along

It's a holi-holiday” 🎶– Boney M

Boney M’s glitter-gold anthem still echoes every time summer rolls around. Their cheerful voices and disco sparkle remind us what this season is truly about: fun, freedom, and feeling good. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to sing out loud, skip through sunbeams, and let life feel just a little lighter. Because hooray — summer is here.

And like every year, it will pass in a blink if we’re not careful. But this time, why not do it differently? Let’s make this a summer that doesn’t rush by — but one that unfolds with intention and joy.

I know that I want to cherish movement by the sea, deep talks and laughter, afternoon tea in the garden, the cooling effect of watermelon, reading books on the balcony — and prioritizing family, friends, and myself.

🌞 Summer Intention Map — A Reflective Activity

Summer invites us to slow down, reconnect, and realign with what truly matters. Whether you're taking a long holiday or working through the season, here’s a simple yet powerful practice to help you live it more intentionally — and more authentically.

Step 1: Reflect

Take 10 quiet minutes with a journal, your phone, or a blank page. Consider:

• What do I need most this summer? (Rest? Adventure? Connection? Creativity?)

• What am I ready to let go of — for now?

• What would a nourishing, meaningful summer look like for me?

Step 2: Create Your Summer Intention Map

Draw four quadrants and fill them in:

• Something I want to do just for me (Start painting, read more books...)

• Something I want to experience with others (Host a dinner with friends)

• Something I want to learn or explore (A new idea, podcast, recipe, or place)

• Something I want to leave behind this summer (Overworking, perfectionism...)

Step 3: Choose One Weekly Action

Each week, pick one small step from your map. Let it be light, joyful, and true to who you are. Knowing what you wish for makes it easier to create space for it. That’s how we build a summer worth remembering.

Will you look back and see a blur of busyness — never really logging off? Or will you smile, remembering the stillness, the laughter, and the joy of simply being — with family, with friends, with yourself?

We may mark time by calendars — but we remember life through moments. If there’s one thing I want to carry with me into fall, it’s the quiet confidence that this summer was well-lived — because I chose to prioritize the good life.
